O'keefe. or W1nans, from the decision Of the
lower court confirming the report OF Referee

rage was invalid, She welded Mr.. OKeefe. she

CHICAGO, April IA special from Fort Gibson,
l. T. says: DIR. Byrne made an examination OF Mr..
Blaine's chest last evening, and found the nflam-
nation OF the lung visibly diminished and the lung
healing rapidly. There is no danger OF a relapse,
unless ft should be invited by some great impru.
dence. Or. Byrne said yesterday: "This weather
is most favorable for Mr.. Blaine. He can take
sufficient nOur1shment. and he is not only RETAIN
ing his strength, but is adding TO IT. There is no
occasion for alarm, and his Improvement is so
gradual, and his condition from hour to hour so
even, that there IS no necessity for any hourly
observation OF his case. He has had an attack OF
brOnchO- pneumonia, and has passed what may
be called the crises OF the disease. Since Sunday
morning Mr. Blaine has been improving. The ex-
tension OrinvaSOn OF the Inflammation has ceased
and sounding OF Mr.. Blaine's chest shows that It
has not increased any since sunday. The disease
is such a subtle one however, that some one point
OF the Inflammation, from fresh cold or other
cause may spread, and that is what we must
guard against. It is under control, and rest Is
very essential Mr.. Blaine Is not restless in the
sense usually applied to the word-that is, he does
not toss about, but he does not sleep as much as
think is desirable"

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, April a. A Durham invention Will
soon produce startling, economic improvement
In the matter OF fuel combustion In heating steam
boilers Protection has been obtained for the
invention. The cubic bulk OF fuel that hence
forth will be required for marine steam engines
will be reduced, 1t is said, by 30 per cent giving
gain to the extent indicated by that proportion to
storage space for cargoes In oceans going steam-
ships. The time for raising steam will be dimin-
ished in all steam boilers, stationary or marine
by at least twO-thirdS; the cost OF fuel consump-
t1On Will be reduced by more than One-half and
the production OF smoke absolutely annihiiated.
The process has been made subject to actual ex-
penmental demonstration, and every test has
been applied. Full details are promised soon.
